Atlanta Hawks guard Jamal Crawford has been named the NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Crawford won the award going away with 580 of a possible 610 points. Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks finished second with 220 points and Anderson Varejao of the Cleveland Cavaliers (126 points) finished third.

Ronny Turiaf has been a part of some basketball teams with serious offensive punch. But the Golden State forward might never have been part of an offense as dynamic and high scoring as this season's Warriors lineup projects.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic have been anointed the two biggest winners of the NBA's draft day trades for landing Shaquille O'Neal and Vince Carter, respectively. But there were several other teams who benefited from major moves in the draft day trade market.

This is why the Atlanta Hawks wanted to start the playoffs at home. With Josh Smith delivering one rim-shaking dunk after another and plenty of teammates chipping in, the Hawks made Miami look like a one-man team, running Dwyane Wade and the Heat ragged for a 90-64 blowout in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference playoff series Sunday night.
